Features: "Lilies in the Field and Birds in the Sky" is Kierkegaard's inspirational lecture on religious life, which led him to become a genuine Christian who refused to teach. He repeatedly extracts passages from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount—about lilies in the field not toiling or spinning and birds in the sky not reaping or storing—and uses these parables as concluding words. "The Crisis in the Life of an Actress" is a typical Kierkegaardian aesthetic essay, where he discusses the youthful, accidental, and transient things versus the mature, eternal, and essential things.
